the editorial comments Of the New York
papers on President Cleye-au5's letter
made public yesterday:
The World says: 'The Presidents
chief excuse is that ne cannot subject his
nigh Office the dignity Of which he must
protect from insult Most american ctli-
zens viii decline to view the matter from
CIcycland's standpoint. The ides that t.
Is necessary for the President of the
United States To stay away from one Of
the chief cities of the country 10 wliCh
be mas been invited in g marked manner
by It's citizens for fear Of insult TO his
Office Is not one that Will be seriously
entertained The Presidents conduct
VIII be Interpreted S. CoWzroIy. People
rapidly lose respect for the chief nag =
trste who can DO turned from MS
path by such Insignificant
sell seeking men IS tl0sg who
will row eXuIt over Mr.. Cleveland, srd
IL YVES not Grover Cleveland who was IN
vited TO ST. Louis by an army Of dcspi.a-
Die citizens, but the President OF the
United States. As President h would
hSve been protected from iusll.. III.
Cleveland does nc. seem to uudersts-
the spirit OF the american people Su.-
pose Andrew Jackson while President

Tie Sun says "Cnder the c.--
cumstauCes the President Lz1 good
grounds for IgC0u.IdlriDg his de-
termination to 90 10 ST. Louis.
Certainly az invited guest cannot reason

he has a5Certaued that he vii no. -
Welcome. why should ne or anybody
else travel hundreds Of miles only 70 eE-
pose himself to threatened insults. Hs

be plgasuTGJlg. He is now satisfied IN
his mind thzt It would be a-vsh!ag BIZ.
pleasant either 10 himself or others.
But !. ii 2 pity that NJ CLeve-
land, although be expressly says
that threats of pers0USl violence
sI5 harm we're not even
considered, should hsve considered these
threats il G letter intended for pTlice-
ton. There is something extremely l--
pleasant in the fact t5st the president f
the United States should prcftr to me--
sonaI violence as may have been made
against him, even il they hsd determined
mis- refusal 10 90 TO ST. Louis The 1es-
way TO treat them would have been g5
absolute silence"
